Misc from Lelia ...


What would cause me to buy the latest issue of Needlepoint Now?

Coni's column (aka Spinster Stitcher ) --- Job Well Done : )


I don't do much canvas / needlepoint. One pattern I have done several times (for GFs) is this scissorkeeper. You'd think I have it memorized -- but I don't. I'm using watercolour - eggplant and will add lavendar on one -- and then stitch it again using green. I am often amazed at the difference an accent color makes

Very nice. I'm always amazed at how different colorways can change a design.

I've never ventured into needlepoint. Love those colors!

I've been looking for Coni's debut article, but my local needlepoint store doesn't carry it. :(

Thanks for the shout out! Your color choice on the scissor keep is....diviiiine! Woo Hoo!

Very awesome colors! My two favorite; purple and green. I do love counted canvas but don't find much time to stitch it because counted thread is my first choice. I'm getting inspired tho....first seeing Coni's canvas pieces she's stitching and now yours....might have to pull out that Needle Delights I've been drooling over....
